Allen Weisselberg, Trump accountant will lose 5 criminal cases and unless he flips, will spend rest of his life in prison. His first criminal court case had first hearing in Sept

Let's do full update to Weisselberg path to take Trump to prison.

Weisselberg Oct Thread 2/

Donald Trump faces 5 paths to prison for LIFE

1. Weisselberg (NY Taxes etc)
2. Giuliani (Ukraine etc)
3. Matt Gaetz (leads to Trump selling pardons)
4. Roger Stone (Jan 6th)
5. Tom Barrack (UAE etc incl extortion of Qatar)

Plus DOZENS of lesser cases

Weisselberg Oct Thread 3/

Allen Weisselberg faces 5 CRIMINAL trials:

1. NY Taxes (Manhattan DA)
2. Money laundering for Mafia (NY Attorney General)
3. Sanctions busting (Federal)
4. Campaign finance & inaugration (DC and Federal)
5. Emoluments (Federal)

The THIRD = worst crime

Weisselberg Oct Thread 4/

Weisselberg 1, Manhattan DA, is SIMPLE tax fraud case, where prosecution has SLAM DUNK case

They have the 'smoking gun' - they have the DOUBLE BOOKKEEPING. He will lose this case

They ALSO have witnesses

Trump (& his sons) also CONFESSED THIS CRIME

Weisselberg Oct Thread 5/

In EVERY crime, Trump was Mafia boss. Mafia boss is ALWAYS tried last. Like with NY Taxes:

1. Michael Cohen
2. Weisselberg
3. Trump kids (Don Jr, Ivanka, Eric)
4. Trump himself

The Mafia boss is ALWAYS tried LAST. That is how this works, ALWAYS

Weisselberg Oct Thread 6/

We learned in August that prosecutors have 3 million pages of evidence against Weisselberg. The systematic intentional tax fraud ran 17 years

We learned in Sept that Allen DELETED incriminating evidence. It establishes his knowledge of guilt.

Weisselberg Oct Thread 7/

There are collaborating witnesses including Michael Cohen, Trump's former attorney; the number 2 accountant to Trump Jeff McConney (limited immunity); Weisselberg's son's former wife etc. Also Trump Org exec Calamari has attempted to negotiate plea deal

Weisselberg Oct Thread 8/

Now in the first court hearing in September, we learned that the Feds have discovered NEW evidence against Weisselberg (beyond all the above) from somebody's basement. This means the 'somebody' has flipped and is NEW to testify against Weisselberg

Weisselberg Oct Thread 9/

There is no way Weisselberg wins. He's a tax cheat in the jurisdiction with highest taxes in America (New York City: Manhattan borough). All New Yorkers hate tax cheats. His jury will want to fry him. Weisselberg owes nearly one million dollars in taxes

Weisselberg Oct Thread 10/

Weisselberg 1, Manhattan DA & NY Taxes is MORE than Weisselberg cheating on taxes. The DA has proof Weisselberg committed GRAND larceny. He falsified documents to STEAL money from NY (his fraud got Allen a false TAX RETURN)

THIS ADDS SERIOUS TIME

Weisselberg Oct Thread 11/

Normal tax fraud of one million dollars, gets Weisselberg about 5 years in prison (similar to New York billionaire Leona Helmsley, who owned Empire State Building)

The Grand Larceny pushes that to 12-15 years. This is on his FIRST criminal case of 5

Weisselberg Oct Thread 12/

There is no way New York will abandon million dollars in taxes owed (back taxes NEVER expire). Crimes this serious mean prison time. NY will levy a PENALTY of 2 million dollars more, so Weisselberg will pay $3 million and do at least 12 years in prison

Weisselberg Oct Thread 13/

Manhattan DA vs Weisselberg is simple tax fraud, nothing else

NY financial crimes unit is world's largest army of financial crime prosecutors & forensic accountants, because Wall Street is world's financial center. They win 90% of time

This they win

Weisselberg Oct Thread 14/

NEXT in Weisselberg 1, are the OTHER TAX CHEATS

In court documents Manhattan DA said there are others - plural - who cheated also on taxes (which must be Don Jr, Eric, Ivanka etc)

and at least 1 who cheated MORE than Weisselberg (that must be Trump)

Weisselberg Oct Thread 15/

Manhattan DA has a Special Grand Jury sitting NOW. The only purpose of Grand Juries is to issue indictments. Weisselberg's indictment took 30 days. The Grand Jury has seen 4 MONTHS MORE of testimony. More tax fraud indictments WILL COME, by November

Weisselberg Oct Thread 16/

It is certain that Don Jr, Eric & Ivanka will be indicted in this session. I am not sure if Donald Trump will be yet. They may wait to indict him AFTER his kids have been charged, & at least one of them flipped. This is Mafia trial, Trump will be last

Weisselberg Oct Thread 17/

On this first crime Allen faces 12 years + $3M back taxes & fines

Don Jr, Eric, Ivanka each face at least 5 years + $3M. Of course they flip

I estimate Trump faces 15 years + $60 million in back taxes & fines for this first Weisselberg criminal case

Weisselberg Oct Thread 18/

IN ADDITION - collateral damage from Weisselberg 1, includes likely Weisselberg's wife, his two sons; Calamari & some other Trump employees; possibly Melania if she signed Trump's tax returns too; Jared Kushner possibly too

Weisselberg Oct Thread 19/

Weisselberg's plea bargain negotiations will try to protect his wife and sons. He himself faces FIVE criminal cases, where at least 2 are FAR MORE SERIOUS than this (with life sentences). If Allen is wise, he flips fast.

Weisselberg Oct Thread 20/

Because of NEW evidence now found in Sept against Weisselberg of MORE CRIMES, his defense attorneys must be given chance to review it. This is why next hearing is in January

Allen's attorneys told judge, they expect MORE criminal charges against Allen

Weisselberg Oct Thread 21/

Weisselberg 2 (NY State Attorney General) is Money Laundering for US Mafia and Russian Mafia. This is FAR worse criminal case

Faces MULTIPLE COUNTS OF LIFE IN PRISON (for Weisselberg AND Trump)

They have been serving subpoenas.

Weisselberg Oct Thread 22/

Trump casinos in New Jersey were used for money laundering

Weisselberg's son Barry ran Trump Ice Rink in NY as a money laundering operation

Many Trump property deals with Russians are being investigated for money laundering like Scotland golf course

Weisselberg Oct Thread 23/

When Weisselberg flips, he has to confess ALL crimes and rat out ALL other criminals including his son (ie make the deal together with Barry to cut time for both of them) & testify against Trump. Is complex deal, but Allen's position is becoming WORSE

Weisselberg Oct Thread 24/

What we saw in Lev Parnas, his attorneys negotiated 9 months for deal, it fell through: no deal. Parnas WANTED a deal

Why did Feds lose interest suddenly? My guess is that was the evidence found in FBI raid of Giuliani's office

Allen in similar peril

Weisselberg Oct Thread 25/

Weisselberg 2 (NY Attorney General: Money Laundering) is now in subpoena stage of the investigation. Eric Trump saw one of his attorneys suddenly quit

It may be that Eric was asking the attorney to do something unethical (maybe I am being too cynical)

Weisselberg Oct Thread 26/

If Weisselberg does not cut a deal soon, he faces HUGE escallation of the criminal charges to money laundering, and NY state Life in Prison sentence (several of those). His attorneys told judge, attorneys expect more criminal charges from new evidence

Weisselberg Oct Thread 27/

Like ALL Weisselberg cases, Trump is the ultimate boss. As any mafia case, the boss is tried last. When Weisselberg flips, he has to confess all crimes, and rat out all other criminals. Case against Trump money laundering comes maybe 1 year after taxes

Weisselberg Oct Thread 28/

Weisselberg 3 is Allen's worst crime. It is Sanctions Busting (Federal) and a crime against the United States of America

Here he faces Natural Life Remaining Without Parole in federal pen. Same of course for Trump.

Weisselberg Oct Thread 29/

Sanctions Busting is such a rare crime, few people know of it, and what it is, how serious it is

When Putin annexed Crimea from Ukraine, President Obama slapped biggest sanctions in US history against Russia (bigger than Reagan: Soviets Afghanistan)

Weisselberg Oct Thread 30/

Donald Trump helped Putin & Putin oligarchs circumvent the sanctions. Trump aided an enemy of the United States when an ally of the US was at war with this enemy

Weisselberg begged Trump for a pardon for THIS Federal crime, not the NY state crimes

Weisselberg Oct Thread 31/

This Federal crime is in the investigation stage. When Weisselberg flips, he has to confess to this as well. It makes the plea bargaining difficult. How do you bargain down from life without parole? That involves Federal/DOJ not just New York

Weisselberg Oct Thread 32/

Weisselberg 4 is campaign finance & inaugration frauds (Federal & DC). Includes Ivanka, Melania, Tom Barrack

Weisselberg 5 is emoluments crimes while Trump was President. These are in investigation stages

Allen has to confess to all when he flips

Weisselberg Oct Thread 33/

I estimated in July Weisselberg TOTAL time (all 5 cases) is 122 years.

Trump related time, of JUST these same Weisselberg crimes (not Giuliani etc) to be 152 years

For Don Jr & Eric, on Weisselberg related crimes about 95 years. Ivanka about 25 years

Weisselberg Oct Thread 34/

America's most notorious gangster, Al Capone was not convicted on murders, extortion, smuggling etc. He was sent to life in prison on tax fraud

We do not care HOW we get Trump behind bars, as long as we do. Tax fraud is FASTEST way to get Trump there

Weisselberg Oct Thread 35/

Trump will go to prison for life on 5 separate paths (Weisselberg, Giuliani, Matt Gaetz, Roger Stone, Tom Barrack). He also loses dozens of other cases

This is criminal trial. It takes a long time. It is Mafia trial, boss is tried last

Have patience

PS - clarifying comment

I see from a couple of responses, I was not clear

About Sanctions Busting. This is NOT about President Trump. It is about Citizen Trump 2014-2016. THAT is when Donald Trump (& Weisselberg) circumvented US government sanctions on behalf of Russia & Putin

PS 2 - I noticed I had missed relevant detail. Not about Weisselberg, but about Trump relating to Weisselberg. In September court materials we learned there is a 'Donald J Trump General Ledger'. So apart from double bookkeeping as evidence of tax fraud, TRUMP is PERSONALLY caught
